Move Tool Problem

Why did the Move tool in Photoshop Elements 8 stop resizing on earlier selected photos? It suddenly only resizes the last selected photo.

Here's one discussion on the subject:

  • Move Tool problem (i think)

    When selecting an object and you want to move it, say 10mm up and 10mm down, how come on CS5.1
    to move the object up, it needs to be a minus i.e -10mm to go up!!! Previous versions have been "normal".
    Any idea's anyone.

  • Problem with move tool? (Win 7)

    On Photoshop CS4 , everytime I select the move tool and decide to move an object among a layer , it moves the object off screen , making it difficult to bring it back to the canvas to move . I know it isn't jumping layers , because only the object inside of one layer i moved , but ... am I the only one that has this problem ? How do I fix it ?
    It doesn't only have this problem with the move tool , but with the text tool , marquee tools , and the brush tool , as well . The text tool would jump off screen , the marquee tool would position the marquee somewhere other than where I clicked it to be , and the brush tool would sometimes jump out of the brush outline . Can someone help ?

    Standard questions:
    Have you updated to version 11.0.1?
    Have you updated your video drivers?
    Is you video card compatible? See http://www.adobe.com/go/kb405711
    Have you tried turning off OpenGL in preferences?
    If the answer to all is yes, try resetting your preferences as described in the FAQ.

    You either have to physically delete (or rename) the preference files or, if using the Alt, Ctrl, and Shift method, be sure that you get a confirmation dialog.
    This resets all settings in Photoshop to factory defaults.
    A complete uninstall/re-install will not affect the preferences and a corrupt file there may be causing the problem.

    I recently upgraded our iMac to Yosemite OS and now have a problem with Photoshop Elements 11:  the move tool selects an image or text layer, but then I try to drag the selection somewhere else on the page and it snaps back to the original location, however the arrows will move it OK.  Also I cannot drag the selection to another photo in the photo bin as before.

  • Photoshop CS5 - Image resize problem with move tool

    Hi People
    Here's my problem
    When I try to resize an layer using the move tool (as opposed to the Free Transform tool), while I'm in the process of moving the scaling handles, the bounding box reflects my movement but the layer preview stays at it's original size. When I stop moving the handles there is a few seconds delay and then the new scale size shows up. If I try to move the handles again, without commiting to the transform, the layer preview reverts back to it's original size until I've finished moving the handles.
    I didn't have this problem with CS4 and I've only recently upgraded. I work around this problem by using the proper Free Transform tool (ctrl+t) but it would be nice to know why the hell this happens. It seems to me to be more of a graphical glitch than a software preference but I thought I'd check just-in-case.

    I also read you you tried updating your video dirvers and your syste crashed and you had to roll back.   Make sure you have downloaded the latest correct drivers. If that does not work try turning off Open GL in photoshops preferences.
    On my old XP 32 bit system CS5 movet tool with transform dialog does not fail like on your system. I can move the handles time and time again without commiting the transform. The only way to have Photoshop revert the transform back to the original state is to press the ESC key to cancel the uncommitted transform.

  • Early today Alt, Ctr and Click and drag changed the brush size. Now it makes the move tool work. Anyone have this problem. I think Adobe had an update and put a bug in the program.

    As far as I'm concerned this is a ridiculous problem that is so basic - it should not happen for the price Adobe charges.

    Emily,
    Just to make sure, are all the faces of the Verdana and Tahoma fonts installed and enabled/activated through the OS (not font mangement) as TTF (not OTF)?

  • Problem with Hand move tool in CS2 ...

    Hi,
    I hope one of you here knows what to do about this as it's less conducive to my normal work-flow...
    I have a Photoshop CS2 which I used to use on Windows XP and here it worked as supposed to. When I hit the spacebar the "hand move tool" appeared and I could move the images I was working with by left clicking my mouse and then move the image.
    Now I've re-installed Photoshop on a new computer with Windows 7 (SP1) and now the "hand move tool" doesn't work anymore. The cursor shifts from the current cursor symbol to a hand but I can't move anything with it.
    Given that it's worked before on Win XP I guess it's a compatibility issue of some kind - one of you knows what can be done?
    Thanks for reading & maybe replying ;-)
    Jesper

    Can anyone verify that this is or is not a problem for them?

    os: win 7 64bits.
    other adobe installed : adobe dreamweaver cs6

    OK, it seems to have been narrowed down to the video driver, or to its settings.
    What make and model video card do you have?
    What is the number and date of the installed driver?
    For OpenGL, what are your performance settings?

  • Adobe Photoshop CS4/5 Crashes when using the Move Tool

    Hello. I'm here because I'm having an issue with Photoshop.
    I was trying out CS5 when it started to crash every time I tried to use the Move Tool. It was the generic error message: "Adobe Photoshop CS4 has stopped working.
    A problem has caused Adobe Photoshop CS4 to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."
    Thinking that it was a CS5 issue, I went back to my copy of CS4, only to find the same thing happening there (I also downgraded because CS5 was also crashing at other random times for some reason, but that's an issue for another time).
    This puzzles me because both were working fine before. Granted, I hadn't opened them for a while, but it was a sudden thing.
    My first impulse was to uninstall and reinstall CS4. No luck. So then, I uninstalled all third-party plugins, thinking that might be it. Still, the same problem. I started looking around on Google for solutions and found the instructions on resetting the Tool preferences (I chose to reset the preferences for ALL of the tools). When that didn't work, I tried deleting the preferences file outright, which said instructions recommended. Nothing.
    I should note that Photoshop crashes when using the Move Tool to move an object without ant lines around it, i.e., a layer. I'll move the object, and after two to three seconds, the mentioned error message will appear and Windows will close Photoshop. This, however, only seems to happen after selecting, copying, and pasting part of a large object with some variation of the Marqee Tool (thus making that part a new layer by default) while working at a zoom of 100%. So, in short, working with a large image like <a href=http://www.wallpaper4me.com/images/wallpapers/ergo_proxy_267_1280-862301.jpeg>This</a> at 100% zoom. The image linked is the image that I was using and am currently using to reproduce the problem. It is 1280x1024 pixels. I have tested this with somewhat smaller, yet comparable images too. Same problem. I have never had this problem working with large images before, and I wonder if anyone has any suggestions short of formatting my hard drive.

    Even a decent RAM upgrade is usually only a few hundred dollars nowadays, but it's not a trivially simple process.  That said, with a little research and care you can do it.  Alternatively, you can hire people (e.g., "Geek Squad") to do such an upgrade.
    First, you'll need to know what your operating system capacity is.  For example, a 32 bit Windows system can really only use up to a bit more than 3 GB of RAM, while a 64 bit Windows system can use all the RAM you can find a place to plug in.  What version of Windows are you running?
    Then you'll need to determine what RAM you have installed and what your computer's maximum RAM capacity is - usually you can do this through internet research, either by visiting your computer manufacturer's web site or doing google searches.  There are even RAM manufacturer web sites that will tell you what kind of RAM your computer needs and suggest sources, for example:
    http://www.kingston.com/
    It may be that you can just plug additional chips into currently empty sockets, or it is possible you'll need to replace the RAM chips you have installed in your computer to make room for an upgrade.  Every computer is different.
    If you list your computer model and current RAM that you have installed here, it may be that someone can help with more specific advice.

  • How do I use the move tool in CS5 to put two images on to an A4 sheet?

    Have recently upgraded from CS3 to CS5.
    I often print out two images on A4 paper.  Under CS3 I would simply adjust and crop 2 images to say 7 ins x 5 ins, after that bring up a new A4 sized sheet (file, new), then using the move tool I'd move the two separate images on to the A4 sheet and print.  Fine!
    Now under CS5, once I've adjusted my first image then try to bring up a second image to adjust that one I seem to lose the first one from the screen.  But on going back via Bridge and clicking on the image it re-appears - problem is, I lose the second image.
    When I bring up a new A4 sheet neither of the images stay on the screen and there is nothing to move.
    Have been into Preferences to see if there is anything there to help but can't see anything.
    Does anyone know what is happening here and what I'm doing wrong i.e. how do I get 2 separate images on to an A4 sheet?
    Thanks,
    Bob Eveleigh.

    There have been changes since cs3, mainly that cs5 uses tabs.
    Tabs can be confusing if your coming from cs3.
    If your in the tabbed mode, try going to Window>Arrange>Tile.
    All your open documents should be visible on the screen.

  • Photoshop CS4 Crashes when using shift and the move tool

    Please help!
    Everytime I click on a layer with the move tool while holding the shift button (so I can constrain the movement), photoshop crashes.  I get a message that says, "Could not use the move tool because of a program error". And then photoshop just shuts down.
    Now I can use the move tool without holding shift, but as soon as I hit the shift button and try them together . . . crash!
    What is going on?
    I'm wondering if it has something to do with an updated video driver that I installed yesterday.  It wasn't doing this before that.
    Suggestions anyone?  Please Please Please Help!

    Have you tried rolling back the driver to see if the fault disappears?
    You could also try resetting your preferences as described in the FAQ.

    7. If you are using more than one video adapter, remove the additional cards.
    Multiple video adapters can cause problems when OpenGL and Photoshop use the GPU. It's best to connect two (or more) monitors into one video adapter. If you have to use more than one video adapter, make sure that they are the same make and model. Also make sure that they both support the same versions of OpenGL and Shader Model. Otherwise, crashes and other problems can occur in Photoshop.
    Note: Using two video adapters does not enhance Photoshop's performance.

  • Photoshop CC crashing on move tool

    So I've recently downloaded the new CC stuff, most of which is AWESOME!  ...However, now I've got a major problem.  I try to use photoshop CC and it crashed EVERY single time I click the move tool, no matter what document I have open.  I haven't been able to do much else with it to see if it crashes in other places or not.  It crashes on both the 64 bit and 32 bit version.
    I have windows 7, 64 bit.  I have an AMDHD 7700 graphics card and I also use the integrated Intel 2500 graphics for more monitors.
    I have 16gb of ram.  I have just updated both of my video card drivers to try and correct the problem, but it has not fixed the problem.
    I also get the "Photoshop has detected an error in your display driver" when I go into the performance tab in preferences.  I'm not sure if this is related or not, but I just thought I'd point that out.
    I need some help.  I've just un-installed my CS4 package and needless to say, photoshop is pretty useless without being able to use the move tool...  I was going to pay for the plan to upgrade at the end of this month, but without photoshop working I'm not so sure..  Can anyone help me?
